What is the torque spec for the distributor hold-down bolt on a 1994 Ford Bronco/F-Series?

Without moving the timing adjustment, tighten the distributor hold-down bolt and clamp to 23-34 N·m (17-25 ft-lb). Distributor cap hold-down screws are tightened to 2.0-2.6 N·m (18-23 in-lb).

Where should the No. 1 piston be when installing the distributor?

The No. 1 piston must be at TDC (top dead center) of the compression stroke when installing the distributor.

Can the drive gear on an EEC-IV distributor be replaced?

No. The drive gear on EEC-IV distributors is not released for service and is matched to the distributor at assembly. If it is nicked, cracked, damaged, or excessively worn, a new EEC-IV distributor must be used.

What special tools are needed to remove the distributor gear/stator?

Axle Bearing/Seal Plate T75L-1165-B and Pinion Bearing Cone Remover D79L-4621-A or equivalent. An arbor press is also required, do not attempt to replace the stator without one.

This is page 03-07-5 from the 1994 Ford Powertrain/Drivetrain service manual (dated Aug 1993) covering Econoline, F-150, F-250, F-350, Bronco, and F-Super Duty. The page continues the Ignition, Distributor 'Removal and Installation' section. The left column details a 12-step distributor installation procedure, including verifying the No. 1 piston is at TDC of the compression stroke, inspecting the O-ring and drive gear, lubricating gear teeth with Engine Assembly Lubricant D9AZ-19579-D (ESR-M99C80-A), aligning the rotor with the marked position, and torque specs: distributor cap hold-down screws 2.0-2.6 N·m (18-23 in-lb) and hold-down bolt/clamp 23-34 N·m (17-25 ft-lb) after timing is set. The right column begins the Stator Removal procedure, with a CAUTION that the EEC-IV distributor drive gear is not serviceable, a new EEC-IV distributor must be used if the gear is damaged. Twelve removal steps cover armature, roll pin, and gear removal using Axle Bearing/Seal Plate T75L-1165-B and Pinion Bearing Cone Remover D79L-4621-A, plus notes specific to 5.0L, 5.8L, 7.5L collars and the 4.9L thrust washer. An illustration (B4139-A) shows pressing the gear off the shaft.
